SeerrSense — ask Claude or ChatGPT for a film, get a verified request in your Seerr

[mashkovd]

I built a small MCP server that sits in front of Seerr. The MCP thread here ended with "this should be handled by a third-party tool" (#2496), so this seemed like the right place to leave it.

You describe a film or series to Claude, ChatGPT or any MCP client — "the Danish political drama with the female prime minister" — it resolves that to one verified TMDB title, checks availability against your Seerr, and files the request there. Four tools, one of which writes; your assistant confirms before calling it. Titles that are already available or pending are refused rather than filed twice.

The language model only proposes candidate titles, and only when Seerr's own search and a normalised retry both come up empty. It never produces a TMDB id — every candidate is verified against Seerr before you see it.

Self-hosted

docker run -p 8787:8787 \
  -e SEERR_URL=https://media.example.com \
  -e SEERR_API_KEY=... \
  -e SEERRSENSE_AUTH_TOKEN=... \
  ghcr.io/mctlhq/seerrsense:1.10.4

There is also a stdio mode for Claude Desktop, and standalone binaries for Linux, macOS and Windows.

Hosted, if you would rather not run it: https://seerrsense.mctl.ai — Google sign-in, you attach your own Seerr on /account. The API key is sealed with AES-256-GCM and never returned by the API, not even masked. Submitted addresses are SSRF-guarded: https only, no loopback, private or link-local targets, re-checked on every dial.

I am not affiliated with the Seerr team. Issues and criticism welcome — especially on the request guard, which is the part I would least like to get wrong.
